HT1595 My Apple TV forgets my wireless settings

I was able to setup my new apple TV , but after putting it to sleep, the next day it forgot all my wireless settings and I had to set it up from scratch. Why won't it remember the network settings?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Do you actually see a weak signal shown on the Apple TV when it is connected to your network. The problem may not be a weak signal, it may be interference from other networks or electrical devices.

How do I change my HP Photosmart C4580 printer wireless settings using the apple provided drivers?

I have a mac pro running the Yosemite OS. I have a HP Photosmart C4589 all in one printer that had been working fine until I replace my router.
Now I can only use the printer as a usb. I know I need to change the wireless settings in the printer but have not learned how to do so.
The printer software is not compatible with Yosemite so I cannot use the hp software to change from usb to wireless.
Based on all that I have read I tried to download replacement hp software and still had no way to change the printer wireless settings.
I uninstalled that software and went to Apple and downloaded drivers but there is no software that will allow me to change the printer wireless settings.
What can I do now?

From the front of the printer (probably the Wireless or Network menu), Restore Network Defaults.
Now on your PC:
1. Start > Control Panel > Printers - delete the printer.
2. Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > [C4500 series] > Add a Device. You will want to add a network device. Eventually it will ask you to connect a USB cable to the printer in order to communicate the network info to the printer.

HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

No wireless connection option when i set up my apple tv even though wireless is working at home. No option under settings to set up wireless connection. Does it mean wireless is broken?

What do you see under settings?
Do you have a network setup?
1. Network Configuration
Have your network password (if you use one) and your Apple Remote handy to configure your Apple TV. Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote and Apple TV. Read more about using and troubleshooting the Apple Remote.
If you:
Use a wired Ethernet network to connect, Apple TV automatically detects your network.
Use a wireless network to connect, Apple TV helps you select and configure your network connection.
Connecting to Your Wireless Network
Apple TV will help you connect to your wireless network. If you use a password to access your network, have it ready. Use the Apple Remote to:
Select your network from the list, or enter your network name if the network is hidden.
Enter your password (if you have one).

Apple TV2 forgets network

Whenever something happens that effects my network (power loss, or reset a setting in Airport Express but keep wireless settings the same), the Apple TV 2 forgets my netowrk. No other device does this. Anyone else have this issue? Really annoying.

Just to add my two cents... I've had the exact same problem as all these other posters. Had the ATV 2 since last Christmas and has always been a champ, then sometime in the last month after the last software update, it forgets settings... wifi network, log-in info and especially Apple ID/password. The other night, I re-entered this stuff, but it still refused to play a video from iTunes on my computer because it said the ATV 2 was "not authorized" to play content. I kept trying to enter my iTunes Home Sharing password and finally, after three attempts, it suddenly started working. I know most of these threads are about the wifi settings, but it seems to be effecting more as well... such as home sharing and authorization of content playback. =(

How to connect apple tv to xfinity wireless

I am trying to connect my apple tv to xfinity wireless Internet connection. I am using my old first generation I pad going to settings> general> network don't seem to help any suggestions as to how I can connect.

You have to use the bundled remote to navigate the Apple TV and its settings to set up the network.

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc.. But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
"ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue. They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago. Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
Very frustrating, and driving me nuts! Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

Troubleshooting
Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
**** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix ) Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use. Now they are happy again...
PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
My wife's iphone 4s is still working. Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it. Nice feature of Ios5. Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix. The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working. So the ISP is involved too!
Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work. No dice Broken again.
Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything. I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that. Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening. The other clients do not do this...
Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on. He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap.
So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
So why is this intermittantly working sometimes? If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show. Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working. Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

Can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac

Hi there. I can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac. I have it installed with USB just fine but I want to use eprint (with ios airplay). I run the setup utility looking for some wireless setup option, but it never appears. When I finish the install it tells me to go to the eprint website to download eprint. At that site it has me download the firmware update, which I do, and then at the end of that it tells me to go to the eprint website again, which then downloads the firmware update again. It's an endless loop.
I know I need to get to the built in web server but the config page tells me I don't have an IP address. Which makes sense to me because it hasn't been set up. I can't for the life of me find how to set up the wireless using the driver software on the Mac OS. I try to follow the manuals instructions, but it looks like it is designed for windows users, and the buttons it tells me to look for just don't exist on the mac HP driver software.
Can you help?

Hi,
The Wireless configuration should be made by using the EWS page, which also accessible from Mac OS over a USB connection through the printer setup.
You may find the steps listed below:
Click the Apple icon, then clickSystem Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
Select your printer and click Open Print Queue.
Click on Printer Setup
Then select Utility
Click Open Printer Utility
Click HTMLConfig. The EWS opens.
Click the Networking tab
Then click Wireless from the list on the left
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Once done, allow 3 minutes to fully establish the connection, then unplug the USB.
Enter Print & Fax and remove the existing USB Print Queue.
Click the Plus button and add the printer over the network.
Please let me know of any issue,
Shlomi

How can I change the country in my Airport Extreme wireless settings

I bought my Airport Extreme in the US. I live in the UK.
How can I change the wireless settings to show the UK (or Europe) as one of the available countries? At the moment it lists only countries in the Americas (Canada, US, Argentina etc...)

Others may know better!
Regards,
Shawn
This is exactly correct.. You can set the Time Zone to anywhere in the world but the wireless is regionalised.. it is part of the sales approach that you should buy the product in the market where it will be used.. the following are the regions.
From the md0a file.
FCC JAPAN ETSI APAC ROW FCC-DFS KOREA RUSSIA
You cannot alter this nor do Apple offer this service.. although I am pretty sure they will have a backdoor.
I have altered it for interest sake by soldering in a console port.. stop the bootloader and the following commands.
K30A>var
apple-sku=ETSI
apple-sn=6F94sxxssxxss
ethaddr=00:2xxxssxxb
K30A>
K30A>setvar apple-sku=APAC
K30A>
K30A>var
apple-sku=APAC
apple-sn=6F94sssxxxx
ethaddr=00:2sxxxssxxss
If you want the pin out to the serial port.. well I can even give you those. At least for a TC.. I am not in any way recommending this.. just showing you where it is hidden.
And this so far would only work on a Gen 4 or Gen 5 AE.. I haven't figured it out on Gen 1-3 nor of course am I about to try soldering in wireless to a Gen6 AE or Gen5 TC.. doubtless it will come to that at some point.

Looking For Optimal Wireless Settings For Multiple WRT310N's

Folks, I have 3 Linksys WRT310N routers (all at the most current level firmware) around my house serving as both wired and wireless access points. I have Verizon DSL service (3 MB) as my ISP. We have a couple of IBM T60p laptops (w/Win XP Pro), a Lenovo S12 netbook (w/Win 7), and my son also has an Apple iPod Touch all that access our home network via the wireless network provided by the WRT310N's. The WRT310N's all have unique static IP addresses (DHCP disabled - IP addresses being issued by the Verizon DSL modem/router). My current wireless settings are as follows:
Wireless / Basic Wireless Setings:
Wireless Configuration = Manual
Network Mode = Mixed
Network Name (SSID) = (something other than linksys!)
Radio Band = Auto
Wide Channel = Auto
Standard Channel = Auto
SSID Broadcast = Enabled (Need enabled or the Apple iPod Touch will not find the wireless network)
Wireless / Wireless Security:
Security Mode = WPA2 Personal
Encryption = TKIP or AES
Passphrase = (Something really clever here!)
Key Renewal = 3600 seconds
Wireless / Wireless MAC Filter:
Enabled (With all the appropriate MAC addresses permitted)
Wireless / Advanced Wireless Settings:
AP Isolation = Enabled
Frame Burst = Enabled
Authentication Type = Auto (greyed out - can NOT change)
Basic Rate = Default
Transmission Rate = Auto (greyed out - can NOT change)
N Transmission Rate = Auto
CTS Protection Mode = Auto
Beacon Interval = 100
DTIM Interval = 1
Fragmentation Threshold = 2346
RTS Threshold = 2347
My goal is obviously to provide the best performance on all the wireless devices that we have. Since the laptops and netbook have a variety of OS's (and sometimes our neighbor comes over with his Mac laptop) I'd like to keep it flexable for those PC's and the Apple iPod Touch. I've also read that if you have multiple wireless access points you should set them all to different channels. If so, which channels? Or, should they all be on the same channel so one could walk from room to room without losing their wireless connection? Since I have 3 WRT310N's I'm interested in what recommendations there are for performance to keep the laptops and netbook communicating using wireless "N" yet keeping compatible for the Apple iPod Touch on wireless "G". Thank you all in advance for any advice or info.

Hmmmm, for quite some time I've left the SSID the same on all the WRT310N routers. At one time a while back I was told to do this by a Linksys technician. They all are cascaded (LAN-to-LAN via the ethernet ports) off of the 4 ethernet ports on the Verizon DSL modem/router in the similar manner described in the following article:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=96&s...
(Switch) ethernet port 1 on each WRT310N is connected to ports 1 through 3 on the Verizon DSL modem/router. Hence, each WRT310N is acting as an access point (wired and wireless) throughout the house. I do NOT use the 'Internet' port on any of my WRT310N routers. They each have a static (fixed) IP address like 192.16.1.10, 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.12. They all reside on the same LAN subnet as my Verizon DSL modem/router which is responsible for issuing DHCP IP addresses for the entire home network. The remaining (switched) ethernet ports 2, 3, and 4 on each WRT310N is left open for local hard-wired devices like printers and multimedia devices (like XBox 360, etc.). So bottom line is that each WRT310N is acting like a 4-port network switch that also has wireless capabilities (like a WAP).
By keeping the SSID the same on all the WRT310N routers I can keep a single wireless profile on each device (i.e... PC's) for my entire house. So I can go and access WRT310N #1 (with let's say with SSID 'ABC') in my living room and later go into my home office room and access WRT310N #2 (with the same SSID - 'ABC') with the same wireless profile. I believe it is the same concept used when someone stays at a hotel and accesses their public wireless network. That way the hotel customers only have to set their SSID to let's say 'HILTON' regardless of which floor or room they are in.
So the part that I'm really focusing on is the wireless performance aspect. My laptops like to operate on 'N' and get pretty good connection speeds (usually receive around 270 Mbps). The Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation) only goes up to 'G' so I believe I need to keep a 'Mixed' Network Mode. The part I'm not so sure about is the Channel Width and whether or not all 3 Linksys routers should be on the same channel (or set to Auto) or if I should manually set the channels and provide some separation between their channels. That's where 'Channel Width' and 'Channel' settings get a bit over my head. Now when I previously had multiple 'G' Linksys routers I contacted Linksys Technical Support and they said to use the same SSID and that I should separate the channels, but that was with their earlier 'G' versions. Now that I have a more recent [N] version and the channel settings can be 'Auto' I'm wondering if the correct settings would still be to again separate the channels or maybe leave it up to the routers to function in 'Auto' mode.
And if I need to set each router up individually what recommended settings should they be? As follows:
WRT310N #1:
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = ?
Channel = ?
WRT310N #2:
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = ?
Channel = ?
WRT310N #3:
Network Mode = Mixed
Channel Width = ?
Channel = ?
Here is a Cisco web page that I'm using as a reference:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=21194
I'm also looking for any suggestions on tuning the Advanced Wireless Settings like Beacon Interval, Fragmentation Threshold, RTS Threshold, etc. Again, my wireless user devices are both G and N and have various OS's.
Thank you again in advance for all your help!!

Please help - Apple TV syncing renders wireless mouse useless.

Please help: Every time my Apple TV syncs my wireless mouse (Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000) totally useless. Mouse works but is not controllable.
Is there a fix for this?
I'm new to Mac, love it all but this problem makes me want to plug my PC back in.

Where you bought the devices is unlikely to stop them working together with one possible exception. In the USA wifi channels are restricted to channels 1 through 11, whereas in the UK (for example) wifi channels 1 through 13 can be used, so there exists the possibility that the extreme could be transmitting on (say) channel 13 and the tv might only be listening on channels 1 through 11.
Given you bought the extreme in the US and the tv in Europe I doubt this would apply unless you have fiddled with the location settings on these devices. I could see it being a possible issue if you'd bought the extreme in Europe and the tv in the US.

Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

Hi Barney,
That's exactly what I want. I have a personal user and a business user on my MacBook Pro. I want both users to have the same contacts so if I add a contact while I'm logged into my personal user, it will show up when I'm logged into my business user. I want both contacts books to be exactly the same; like you said. So, I used my business user AppleID when I enabled iCloud for my personal user and I enabled iCloud for my business user with that Apple ID as well. For my personal user, I selected Contacts and Calendars to sync with iCloud. For my business user, I selected everything to sync with iCloud. The problem is... it didn't change anything. I restarted my computer to see if that would do anything but nothing happened. I'm not super savvy with Apple products, so maybe I'm completely confused.
Hi Xeni,
Thank you for your response, as well.
